Hello there, Im currently taking a Senior Design Course at my college. We are developing an online document editor prototype with Rails. I am not well-versed in Rails.

The problem we have is the following: We have a User model (id, username, password, email) and we have a Document model (id, name, content, owner_id). A

My application is going to have a work queue of scheduled tasks stored in the DB. This work queue will be shared across multiple Rails app servers. I need a way to ensure that no two servers get the same jobs if multiple servers pop jobs off the top of the queue simultaneously. Is there a fairly simple way to acheive this?

I''ve read through my RoR books and I can''t seem to find the solution. This is a pretty basic, easy, and practical application for RoR.

No matter what I try I''ve been unable to work how to get this to work with the cool ActiveRecord helpers.
